Princess Charlotte - Birthday Reply (2017)

 The first reply is from Prince William and Duchess Kate. I had written to them in April for Princess Charlotte's 2nd Birthday.

Like usual, Clarence House replied with a photo card of Princess Charlotte with a typed message on the back. As expected, they used the photo taken by Kate, at the family's home Anmer Hall, that was released for Princess Charlotte's birthday.


The card says: 

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thank you for the message you so kindly sent to Princess Charlotte on the occasion of her second birthday. 

It really was most thoughtful of you and greatly appreciated. 

With the card, I also received a lovely letter from Claudia Spens, Head of Clarence House's Communications Section. She thanked me for writing and briefly touched on some of the other things I had mentioned in my letter. 


The letter says: 
Dear Miss Daly,  
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have asked me to thank you for your letter of 20th April.  
It was so kind of you to take the trouble to write as you did. The Duke of Cambridge was particularly touched by your generous comments regarding his beloved mother, Diana, Princess of Wales and Their Royal Highnesses were most grateful for your thoughtful words of support for the work they undertake with the Heads Together Campaign,  attempting to remove the stigma surrounding mental health. 

I regret that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are unable to reply to you personally, due to the large amount of correspondence received. Their Royal Highnesses have, however, asked me to send you their warmest thanks for you letter and their very best wishes. 
Yours Sincerely,  
Claudia Spens
